Vanessa Feltz has issued an urgent warning to everyone who tuned into This Morning yesterday.
Vanessa spoke on the ITV show alongside hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on Tuesday.
The second episode of the week saw Phil and Holly welcome Vanessa into the studio.
But Vanessa had a warning for those watching at home: and it was all to do with a worrying rise of scam text messages and calls - reports Birmingham Live.
ITV1 This Morning guest Vanessa told viewers to exercise caution and act vigilant as scam texts continue to do the rounds.
She said: "We must remember all the police sergeants I've ever talked to about this say nothing is ever that urgent.
"So you get a message you're not expecting saying, 'you've got to urgently contact this, you've got to quickly join this link' or whatever it is.
"Nothing is that urgent. If something is really important you will be contacted in the normal, legitimate manner, but you know when people are dashing about they think, 'Oh my God, quick!' Then they've done it before they've even had a chance to think.
"Nothing is that urgent, that's the thing to remember."
Over the coronavirus pandemic there has been a big increase in the amount of scams targeting people across the UK.
There's been several scams involving delivery firms such as DPD, Royal Mail and Hermes, with people getting scam texts asking them to pay for a parcel to be re-delivered.
Other people have had texts pretending to be from their bank, asking them to urgently act and move money from accounts
